Chapter 726: Twists and Turns
It was Shi Batian who opened his mouth to drink, he naturally knew that the black shadow was Shi Zhan, his expression was gloomy as water, but his heart was full of anger, and he scolded this son for being extremely stupid.
Shi Batian never thought that this Shi Zhan was smart and cautious on weekdays, and today he actually made such an unfathomable mistake and dared to attack on the deck, isn't this looking for death.
At the same time, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed ahead of everyone, and raised his hand with a palm, which was to kill Shi Zhan and kill people.
"Fourth brother, stop. ”
As soon as Shi Nantian came out, he saw his son vomiting blood and being seriously injured, and at this moment he was extremely angry in his heart, wanting to cut this thief with a thousand knives.
But he knew that the person who dared to commit murder here must have been instructed by someone, and this thief could not die for the time being.
But at this moment, Shi Batian's speed was extremely fast, and he didn't pay attention to Shi Nantian's shouting at all, and that big hand was already less than three feet in front of the black shadow.
"Humph!"
A cold snort came out, and the black shadow seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand, and was immediately dragged to the crane-haired old woman at the hatch of the ship.
A hint of gloom flashed in Shi Batian's eyes, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, his fists clenched, and his clenching made a gurgling sound.
The black shadow fell in front of the crane-haired old woman, and the clothes that covered her face and body immediately shredded, revealing her true face, which was undoubtedly Shi Zhan.
Shi Nantian's eyes froze, his expression was immediately gloomy like water, and he looked up at Shi Batian in the distance.
"Shi Zhan, it turned out to be him!"
"How could he sneak attack Shi Chong? And it's still dressed like this, could it be ......?"
"Shi Zhan has always been low-key, and he dared to do this, thinking that someone instructed him. ”
......
The people of the Shi family who rushed to the deck, when they saw Shi Zhan's true face, immediately showed surprise and surprise in their eyes, and they began to talk about it.
The discussion was chaotic, and the people who belonged to the patriarch's faction and Shi Batian's faction had their own opinions and disputes.
"Boom!"
The crutch held by the old woman in the right hand slammed on the ground, and a tremor that made people's ears roar spread in all directions, quickly overpowering the noisy discussions.
The sound gradually subsided, and for a moment the ship was so quiet that even the sound of an embroidery needle falling on the ground could be heard.
"The old man asks you, why do you want to commit murder here?"
The old woman with crane hair slowly lowered her head, her eyes fell on Shi Zhan's face, and the words she spoke without any emotion made people feel that an iceberg was pressing on their hearts, as if they didn't tell the truth, they would never recover.
"Back to ...... Back to the ancestor, the disciple is...... It was persecuted. ”
Shi Zhan knelt on the ground, his body trembled uncontrollably, the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down in large pieces, and landed on the deck, and his voice was clearly audible.
Hearing this, Shi Batian's eyelids jumped, and his clenched fists became even harder.
And Shi Nantian had almost guessed the truth, and his gaze at Shi Batian became more and more unkind.
Shi Zhan is attached to Shi Batian, although not many people know about this matter, but he, the patriarch, is still very clear.
"Persecuted by whom?"
The crane-haired old woman's expression did not change at all, she couldn't see her joy or anger, and she still asked calmly.
Shi Zhan trembled, hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, just slowly turned his head and looked at Shi Batian.
The meaning was already very clear, and there was an uproar all around, and Shi Nantian's strong cultivation in the middle of the Yuan Infant burst out, and there was a big intention to do it if he didn't agree.
But at this moment, a cold snort sounded, and another black-haired old man in the late Yuan Infant period raised his hand and killed Shi Zhan on the spot without mercy.
A blood mist spread, instantly making the eyes of the surrounding clansmen look horrified, and they all closed their mouths, not daring to say a word more.
"Sanniang, this son is a demon, if you want to separate the internal relationship of the Shi family, let's not believe his words, so as not to fall into the way of outsiders. ”
The black-haired old man squeezed out a smile on his face, looked at the old woman beside him and said slowly, but his gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Qiyun, who was not lightly injured at the bow of the boat.
What it means is that the charge of sowing discord is naturally detained on outsiders like Qiyun, after all, they are all members of the Shi family, no matter who they hurt, it will not be good for them.
"What do you mean by this, the old man has been married into the Shi family for nearly a thousand years, and his surname is not Shi, so he is an outsider?"
The old lady Hefa is the current highest-ranking person in the Shi family, and she is also a direct relative of Shi Nantian, so he can be the patriarch.
And she is also quite fond of Shi Nantian, the only son, and when she saw Shi Chong injured at this moment, she was naturally extremely angry in her heart.
But angry to angry, she is not old and confused, knowing that all this is just caused by the struggle between the two factions, and it has nothing to do with Qiyun.
And she also hopes that Qiyun and Shi Chong will form a relationship, so that this uncompetitive junior will enter the right path.
"Sanniang misunderstood, the nephew just didn't want to see the Shi family split because of this. ”
A hint of jealousy flashed in the black-haired old man's eyes, and a wry smile appeared on his face, and he spoke lightly.
Although the two of them are both late Yuan Infant monks, there is still a gap in strength.
This crane-haired old woman has been stuck in the late Yuan Infant period for more than 300 years, and only needs one opportunity to advance to the Yuan Infant Great Perfection, and he has just advanced to the late Yuan Infant Stage for only a hundred years, and the gap between the two is naturally not small.
"Well, everyone is dead, and there is no need to mention this matter. ”
After being silent for a long time, the crane-haired old woman sighed, and there was a sense of helplessness in her voice.
She didn't want to make the Shi family fall apart because of this trivial matter, not to mention that they still had extremely important things to do, and at this moment, when it was time to employ people, they couldn't damage their own strength.
"Sanniang ......"
Shi Nantian was extremely unwilling, and immediately stepped forward to hold the old woman's arm, he really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Alas, the overall situation is important, let's go and see how Chong'er is doing. ”
The old woman sighed helplessly, turned around and walked into the cabin under the gaze of everyone, the rickety back, revealing a deep exhaustion, like a lonely old man who was about to die.
Shi Nantian looked at the back, and knew that this elder couldn't protect him for too long, so he turned around and glanced at Shi Batian coldly, and he immediately rushed to Shi Chong's side.
Shi Chong was just a monk in the early stage of Jindan, he was hit by the full force of Shi Zhan of Jindan Great Perfection, and his injuries were not light, and he had passed out at this moment, his breath was weak, and he seemed to be able to fall at any time.
Qiyun sat down on the side, her jade hand gently wiping her tears, revealing an extremely sad and self-reproachful expression.
Shi Nantian only glanced at Shi Chong's state, and his face immediately showed an anxious look, and he hurriedly took out the healing pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he looked at Qiyun and raised his hand to throw over a bottle of elixir.
"You take this elixir, go back and recuperate. ”
Qiyun took the pill, and asked about Shi Chong's situation with great anxiety and worry, and after doing enough drama, he slowly retreated.
Since then, the relationship between Shi Nantian and Shi Batian has become more and more tense, and in the family meeting, the two will even argue over a trivial matter.
In this regard, Qiao Yuan and the others did not continue to fan the flames, but tried not to participate in the affairs of the Shi family, after all, returning to Nantai safely is the first purpose.
The people of the Shi family were busy with infighting, so naturally they didn't have time to take care of Qiao Yuan and the others, and life was quite stable, except for Shi Nantian who occasionally came to see Qiyun, no one else would come to the cargo hold.
Six months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the ship has been traveling for more than half a year, getting closer and closer to the mainland of South Thailand.
Although there are many dangers in this vast sea, there are a group of strong people like the Shi family, so there is naturally no danger.
On this day, the sky was originally cloudless, but suddenly, the sea breeze was howling, the aura was surging, the sky gradually darkened, and a large area of dark clouds pressed the realm, as if a storm was coming.
The aura on the big ship, under this vision, converged towards the sky and poured into the dark clouds.
Such a celestial phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of everyone on the ship, and the Shi family members who were cultivating in the room immediately woke up in unison and rushed towards the deck.
"It's ...... Someone's going to break through?"
Except for a few sailors on the ship, the others were all monks above the Jindan stage, and their eyesight was naturally extraordinary, and they could see at a glance that this celestial phenomenon was a sign that someone had broken through their cultivation.
On the first floor of the cabin, in Shi Chong's room, Shi Nantian's face showed a look of great joy.
The last time Shi Chong was seriously injured, he was a blessing in disguise, allowing the medicinal power accumulated in his body to spread.
After recovering from his injuries, his cultivation increased to the peak of the early stage of the Golden Pill, and he was only one step away from advancing to the middle stage of the Golden Pill.
Shi Nantian was naturally extremely happy, and every day he personally sorted out Shi Chong's meridians to help him cultivate.
With the help of a mid-Yuan Infant cultivator, coupled with some pills, it took nearly half a year for Shi Chong to finally reach the edge of advancement.
They were happy, but some were anxious.
"Master, that bastard is about to advance, what should I do?"
Qiyun pushed open Qiao Yuan's door, and before he could enter, the words had already reached his ears.
Qiao Yuan naturally also noticed the abnormal movement of the surrounding aura, and said indifferently.
"Advance is advanced, what are you panicking about?"
"Can I not panic? Last time, the apprentice personally told Shi Nantian that as long as that bastard advanced to the middle stage of Jindan, I would marry him. ”
Qiyun bit her lower lip tightly, walked to Qiao Yuan's side, and grabbed his sleeve, her big eyes full of reluctance.
"It's still Master's idea, I don't care, I want to marry you and marry that bastard. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, it was indeed him who came up with this idea in the first place, but he didn't expect that Shi Chong would really be able to break through his cultivation within a year.
"No, isn't your master able to control Shi Chong, how could he let Shi Chong break through his cultivation?"
"The apprentice asked the master uncle, and he said that the bastard's cultivation had reached the peak of the early stage of Jindan, and it was natural for him to advance, and he couldn't control it. ”
Qiyun shook his head helplessly, not only Qiao Yuan didn't expect Shi Chong to break through his cultivation, but even Su Zhen didn't expect that the development of things had exceeded their expectations.
"Master, what do you say you should do?"
Qiao Yuan's face showed a thoughtful expression, it was naturally impossible to marry an apprentice to such a gentleman.
But Shi Nantian has come to Qiyun several times in the past six months, as if he has already regarded her as a daughter-in-law, if he doesn't marry, he will definitely tear his face.
For a moment, he also didn't know how to solve the matter.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Qiao Yuan and Qiyun hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door.
"Miss Qiyun, the patriarch is invited. ”
